Bruce Rock Shackleton

Bruce Rock and Shackleton are nearby Western Australian areas with very different layouts and populations. Bruce Rock is more developed and somewhat walkable, with 66% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. It has a much older population, with 29% aged 65 and over, and a higher share of people living alone at 35.2%. Shackleton is car-dependent and more sparsely populated, though it has a much higher typical family income of $2,749 per week, compared to $1,699 in Bruce Rock.

These two areas have tracked closely in some areas since 2011, such as their similar shares of renters and detached housing. They are also alike in their lack of public transport and a similar proportion of people earning over $2,000 a week. While Bruce Rock has far more people who volunteer (30.4%) and a higher share of those who have completed Year 12, both areas sit well below the national figure for school completion.
